Also the guy he is yelling at speaks English as a second language and was immediately apologetic and didn't seem to have any malice in the original tweet.

Dan Harmon is and has always been totally nuts. Yelling at some guy on twitter for two hours is hardly the crime of the century, and he makes good stuff so I really can't give a poo poo about things like this. It's just kind of a fun thing that happens with crazy people sometimes.

Dan doesn't just sound like Rick when he throws a tantrum, he sounds like Jeff Winger, too. Who would have thought that the insecure man-child would write the smartest guy in the work and the cool irresistible stud to sound just like him???

In a lot of ways Rick is basically Jeff anyway with "genius" added and all his personality traits turned up to ten.

Well, it probably wasn't fun for the person being harassed by a crazy person. Reading that poor fan's tweets was heartbreaking when he kept saying he was sorry and that he feels awful that someone he looks up to hates him and such.

But yeah, a fun thing that happens with crazy people.

Someone that goes off on hours long rants at any perceived slight, and then it turns out he has completely misunderstood the point he was mad about in the first place? Seems like a recipe for success imo

Really digging the parts of the multi-hour rant where he implies that fame is a legitimate (or possibly only?) measure of a person's worth, and therefore this is the most significant moment of the poor guy's life. I guess I'm happy in a way that the dude thinks that since he clearly can't form meaningful human relationships.

I suspect (want to believe) that he's just saying that kind of poo poo because he thinks it's the most effective way to insult that person.

Dan Harmon is a man who needs constant praise- despite a career consisting of running a few clever, subversive ideas into the ground- in order to act like a decent person.

I'm sure that's mostly it but it's also pretty obvious the dude has major self-esteem issues so I'm sure his fame becomes a big measure of his own self-worth

Roiland has made some messed up stuff but as a person, he definitely seems better than Harmon, who it's increasingly clear is a total histrionic tool.

Harmon more often than not publicizes / speaks openly about mental illness so that he can use it as a shield for his own behavior, rather than for therapy

The guy in the room who jokes about his own alcoholism as he swigs from a vodka bottle is usually not getting better. (Dan is sometimes literally that guy)

It's weird because he obviously is aware of most of his problems. He'll straight up admit to any fault he has. He just sort of accepted that he's probably not going to be able to change.

What was the tweet anyway? It's all blocked now.

Harmon is not a very good person. His public drama and shenanigans are not the worst thing a showrunner has done or indeed even that notably bad in the grand scheme of public fiascos that showrunners have embroiled themselves in. Being a showrunner means you're, usually, a type-A, controlling rear end in a top hat with huge self esteem and usually socialization issues. Nothing that harmon has done recently is out of the norm for what showrunners do.

I need to just favorite this post and copy/paste it every other month when harmon does something retarded in public because it's something i'm forced to repeat so often.

Someone asked him "are you too drunk for this? this seems like a bad idea" and it was apparently about some kind of rap he had said he was going to do. I don't know anything more.

There's basically nothing goons love more than boiling a person down to the single worst thing they've done, and then obsessive over it. Harmon apparently likes to update that stat more frequently than others, so he gets extra attention.

I still say the poo poo Harmon says would fit right in on this dumb forum, or even this dumb thread.

no, nobody on this forum gives a poo poo about sutter or murphy, two shining examples of being giant shitbag showrunners

the only other example of a showrunner being brought into a fraction of the scrutiny that harmon is is moffat, and that's because doctor who fans are...awful

I have never watched glee or sons of anarchy and yet I know of Kurt Sutter and Ryan Murphy because of this forum. I don't know about the world in general but people absolutely do seem to give a poo poo here.
